IBF orders Ibragimov-Ruiz purse bid

[Derranged]

I'd love to see Klitschko-Liakhovich. That has good fight written all over it...if Klitschko CAN be in a good fight

Sure he could. His last fight wasnt entertaining?? Or by good do you mean COMPETITIVE?

This is going to be a joke, Igramigov is going to KO Ruiz.

igbraminov is one of the only guys at heavy that poses a threat to klitschko.

if klitschko fights ruiz he wins ten out of ten

he fights igbraminov ten times i dont think i could say the same.

After Ibragimov will kick Ruiz's ass, Ibragimov vs. Wlad will be one hell of a fight to watch.

Wlad must fight Liakhovich next to make things interesting. Unfortunately Liakhovich is under Don King so I don't see that fight going down.

because Don King is a chump...Wlad should only fight for a title next seeing as he has one on the line and wants to move forward

Don King is the cancer of the HW division. Just when he lost his grip on the HW division we got some good fights and more are expected. I hope he retires soon (he'll never die, he's the devil).

how the hell does ruiz get a shot at mandatory???????? one damn fight and he's back in the championship scene. nobody, i mean no-****ing-body wants to see ruiz back that close to the top again.


well, here's what's going on with klitschko:

he said he will rematch peter when he gets ranked higher or becomes champion - whichever comes first. by the way peter's team has been backpeddlig his progression, it may be a while before this fight happens.

brewster will be out a while so that his eye heals fully. and then there will most likely be a tune-up fight or two before he really tries to get back on the scene. of course we all know by now that klitschko has already sent brewster a contract and doesn't mind waiting to he fully heals to rematch him - this is according to 2 separate sources i've heard about.

wladimir, on through the ropes, had said that he is willing to fight any top five fighter. he doesn't want to fight anybody who's ranked lower than #5. a big f'ing thanks to wladimir for having some standards amongst this group of heavyweights who are content to fight #10s, 15s, or worse ranked fighters.

the real question is not who will wladimir pick, but who is willing to fight wladimir. after all, we know that virtually any fighter is going to get a big payday for fighting him, so the money excuse is out the window. and he stated that his next fight will me in MSG - so the whole having to fight in a foreign country thing is also out the window.

so, who is willing to fight wladimir, ranked relatively high, and available?

I still dont know about ibragimov. Havent seen him enough to gauge just how good he is. he does go to the body well and throws in combos but appears very vulnerable to right hands. jury is still out on him. we'll know more after his fight with ruiz

Sources from the ibf have stated that there will be a purse bid for Ibragimov-Ruiz. The two will battle to get the right to become Wladimir Klitschkos mandatory and the purse-offer will take place in Puerto Rico on June 3rd, 60% of the winning bid will go to Ibragimov while Ruiz gets 40% of the winning bid.
Looks like this fight is going down sometimes in the fall, the division is getting interesting and were getting to see some good fights....

Funny that a former title holder is getting the "challenger's share". This purse should be 50/50 IMO.

wlad/ruiz is a massacre... and while SL beat brewster, i dont think he matches up well with wlad...
